This Sika is #2 in the state of MD

Congrats. nice work!

 

nice job overall. however, the antlers are set way to low. The Md Sika Deer pedicules are far higher and prominant in height, and at that antler size would show far more scarring. because of the shield being up to 1" thick, your deer looks undersized, neck wise. looks to me as a MK forrm that is way off for this unique species . this swamp mini elk is never dry. fluffing up the nape is un natural. you did a good job. from a Blackwater property owner
